from RightwardHo...This is crap and we as Conservatives should be really worried about this kind of thinking.
It was a dangerous breed of dog, people who have those animals should be licensed... He had it coming to him, he should have just... The cop is going to be railroaded...
Should an officer shoot a fleeing suspect? The quoted policy indicates yes. There appears to be crappy eye witnesses, which isn't shocking. The whole turned around with the hands up thing I've discounted from the beginning. But that core question, should an officer shoot a fleeing suspect, is absolutely one that should be reviewed by a jury. It should not be left up to a police investigation or a FBI investigation.
And what really scares me is how many Freepers are all eager to jump up and down and call it a justified shooting. How long until the same reasoning is used to justify shooting protesters in front of an abortion clinic for failing to disperse? Or not dispersing fast enough.
Investigation. Interrogation. Oh, and quelling rioting mobs.
The media has their orders to KEEP THIS ALIVE until the November elections have passed.
On a thread earlier today, I admitted that I was wrong in my assessment from yesterday.
I also called out a couple of folks that tried to pass off a bogus arrest record yesterday and one guy who posted an incorrect picture of the officer involved in the shooting today.
I got trolled, gamed, accused of stalking and accused of attacking.
I was wondering the same; WHY have the police not headed off all this crap? They could have!
Can’t stir up a good outrage if the truth gets out there too quickly.
Have you seen a video of his hands in the air? If not, then you’re working off the eye witness stories which are quickly falling apart. I’m not saying the cop went off on him but we need to wait for the autopsy report to know more about the shooting.
LOL well-done
battle of the press conferences to begin in a few minutes —family about to speak on camera in Ferguson. Though it will probably be an attorney doing all the talking.
Possibly. Shooting took place in a Democrat-run town in a Democrat-run state (governor, at least). National Dems are looking at a potential wipeout in the November elections and need an energized base, and the Trayvon legend isn't getting it done anymore. Nothing surprises me when it comes to the Democrats, so entirely plausible IMO (not the incident itself, but the aftermath).
Yup, good point.
The “no justice no peace” people create an environment that makes it difficult for either to prevail.

radios and such aside, I’m just going by what Chief said:
“... Chief Jackson said. Wilson was unaware the pair were wanted in connection with the robbery; another officer was investigating the robbery at the time.”
The The “no justice no peace” people never want justice or peace, they want blood.
How do you know that Fat Bastard had his hands in the air? From taking the word of his butt boy buddy Mini-Me?
Now though we know why the QT was the store that got torched. Mini-Me told Fat Bastard’s gang banger buddies about the robbery and they attacked this place first out of revenge and maybe to also burn up any security camera video and other evidence.
Obama/Holder threatened the same nonesense in the Trayvon shooting. Of course the facts were not on their side so the DOJ suit against Zimmerman never materialized.
Same thing here. And Big Mike Brown? An even worse thug than Trayvon. The usual racers will bitch and moan. But public sympathy will be with the cops.
YEP —
I don’t know what you’re referring to about casings at 35 ft., perhaps you mean subject at 35 ft instead.
Even if you shoot once in the cruiser, It was reported he fired seven times. The local Chief announced that there were 35 linear feet of shell casings, all from the Officer. Rule one: Meet force with force.
you don't chase and shoot multiple times for 35 feet.
What I can’t understand is why the police acted so secretly, withholding all information. It raised an understandable idea that they were withholding info to avoid further rioting because the cop screwed up. Now that that is shown to be untrue, the protesters and president are so invested in their fake rage they won’t stop.
The people in the neighborhood have known about Brown all along and still rioted, looted moaned about racism.
Taking bets that toxicology tests will show PCP in his system. That’s what the cigars were probably going to be used for as well.
